Delays of up 30 minutes

The latest traffic reports are suggesting delays of up 30 minutes between Burnham-on-Sea and Weston-super-Mare.

Traffic service provider Inrix is suggesting one lane remains closed on the northbound carriageway between junction 22 for Burnham-on-Sea and junction 21 for Weston, with travel time currently estimated to be around half-an-hour.

Lane one - of three - is closed following a multi-vehicle crash, which eyewitness reports suggest five vehicles were involved in.

All of the vehicles have since been moved to the hard shoulder, but delays are ongoing.

Inrix reports damage was caused to the central reservation as a result of the pile-up.
